Look up Y Combinator companies, batches, and startup ecosystem data using the yc-oss API (read-only). Use this skill whenever the user wants to research YC-backed startups, find companies in a specific batch or industry, check which YC companies are hiring, explore top YC companies, or analyze startup trends by sector or tag. Triggers include: "YC companies in fintech", "who's in the latest YC batch", "YC startups hiring", "top Y Combinator companies", "find YC companies tagged AI", "W25 batch", "S24 companies", "YC stats", "Y Combinator portfolio", "startup research", "which YC companies do X", "venture research on YC", any mention of Y Combinator, YC batch, or YC-backed companies in the context of startup research, venture analysis, or market intelligence. This is a read-only data source — the API is a static JSON dataset updated daily.
Fetch the current top Hacker News stories and return agent-friendly structured results. Use this whenever the user explicitly asks about Hacker News or HN, and also when they ask for today's developer, startup, YC, or tech-community hot stories where Hacker News is a strong default source.

Discover entities (companies, people, products, etc.) matching a natural-language description.

Different from web-search (which returns webpages) and deep-research (which returns a narrative report). Use this when the user wants a structured list of entities.
Generic read-only fallback for any source opencli covers but this repo has no dedicated reader for — Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, Reuters, Barchart, Eastmoney, Xueqiu, Sinafinance, Reddit, HackerNews, Substack, Medium, Weibo, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, arXiv, Google Scholar, Apple Podcasts, Xiaoyuzhou, Spotify, YouTube, Weixin, Amazon, and more. Triggers: "use opencli to read", "grab the frontpage from hackernews", "read reddit r/wallstreetbets", "fetch Eastmoney hot stocks", "pull Xueqiu feed", "get Bloomberg markets headlines", "search arXiv for", any request to read from a site where a specialized skill does not exist but opencli does. FALLBACK — prefer twitter-reader, linkedin-reader, discord-reader, telegram-reader, or yc-reader when the source matches. READ-ONLY — never invoke write operations.
